BY becoming a school bus driver, Paul Williams says he changed overnight from being a respected ex-serviceman into someone regarded by society as an incompetent bully.

Mr Williams was discharged with a disability pension from the RAF after his helicopter plummeted 700ft into the sea. During his RAF career he received a commendation for meritorious service in Northern Ireland.

"As a result of being put in a school bus, every member of society seemed to think I was a bully and incapable and an idiot," he said.
